Poll: The Vega Review Thread.

What do we think about Vega?

  • What has AMD been doing for the past 1-2 years?

  • It consumes how many watts and is how loud!!!

  • It is not that bad.

  • Want to buy but put off by pricing and warranty.

  • I will be buying one for sure (I own a Freesync monitor so have little choice).

  • Better red than dead.

Thinking the same, watched the vid by joker comparing the 56 and 1070, looks like he got good results undervolting and just overclocking the memory, this kept the temps and power in check and gave a decent boost


Good to know, esp if it keeps the noise profile in check a little too. Looks a great little card, esp if you can get one at £369ish at launch...

Can't remember if he mentioned the noise levels but he did claim undervolting lowered the temps and was able to stop the core clock from dropping, at under £400 I'm really tempted on a 56 as its close enough to the 64 and I could live with a little less aa to make up the fps difference
 
So how much faster than the Fury pro is Vega 64? Just picking the games I’m interested in from one review, it looks like anywhere from 30% (worst case – GTA V) up to 58% faster. Averages around 44% faster in my seven games. Is that about right overall?

Pretty good if it is, I still don’t need a card yet thankfully but with the usual driver improvements and hopefully price drops, that could be good in a while.

Seems to sit between the 1070 and 1080, and will probably be within spitting distance of the 1080 once the drivers have matured a little in a few months. I say go for it :cool:
 
Well the countless youtube videos I have watched so far will disagree with you ;) battlefield 1 maxed out is around 40/50 fps
Of course this can very depend on the map.
Links to said videos would be nice cause i call BS on them. I can maintain a minimum of 67 on Amiens(one of the worst performance maps) 64p full server and are usually around 75ish fps @4k ultra preset on a 4770k@4,3 and stock 1080ti boosting to around 1800mhz so these supposed video creators must be doing something wrong. Im even experiencing an ever so slight cpu bottleneck as GPU util will in rare times drop down to 94-95% but it is not something i would factor into my results. Though worth noting here is that my 1080ti will on its own boost to near 1900 on its own unless the pc is bottlenecking elsewhere(temp is not an issue never gets above 65) so there is even more performance to be gained from this card with a higher CPU overclock or newer CPU in general.
 
Uploading a vid of fury x at 4k on a ryzen 1700 at stock with the high preset, sinai desert 64 player multi, with a bloody sandstorm right at the start as well. Gonna take about an hour to upload :o

Had 3 bloody bounce shots in a row against another tank, not sure why they introduced that gimmick as it just adds an element of random luck to the game where i had a tank pretty much dead to rights. :mad:

Drops into 40s here, listen Battlefield I don't even class has a very demanding game. If a 1080 ti can maintain 60fps in one title and then others drops into 40/50fps it isn't a true 4k GPU nothing is yet. A Ti will maintain a 60fps is all titles at 1440p that is a true 1440p GPU. See what I mean?

A true single 4K GPU is still a while away yet and it's going to get more demanding once titles start using true 4k assets.

The 64 doesn't seem to be that much faster. In fact they have had to set limits on power draw etc to stop you from getting too close to the higher priced card. It uses exactly the same VRM's etc.

Thanks for the link. Dont know why his performance is so dreadful mine certainly isnt. The only thing i can think of right now is the OS difference as im on win7 and he is on win10 using dx12.
 
I don't think the memory helps here, i found that was the main limitation at 4k.

Vega eats it easily.

It was a few hundred megs off the 4 gig limit so was doing reasonably well. Clocking up the ryzen to 3.8 from stock would probably help some as well. 1440p it does really well in at ultra.

If you are running all high, perhaps it is okay.
 
Nope, its a 1080 competitor at best, which could improve once amd get the thumb out and unlock the new features that are meant to help with performance increases.
What features are these? Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer is already enabled on Vega 64.
